A Song of degrees of David.
1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3
Then they had swallowed us up quick,When their wrath was kindled against us:
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us,The stream had gone over our soul:
5
Then the proud waters,Had gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be the LORD,Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of the LORD,Who made heaven and earth.
